hysterectomy

Avatar f tn Hi- Just wondering if anyone out there had any complications post total hysterectomy? I had mine 3 months ago due to several cysts again! Paternal grandma died of ovarian cancer at age 50. I had 15 years of cysts, and a total of 8 laporosopies. I am not even 40 yet! Any how, at my 8 wk check up my oncologist said everything was fine, no infection, no cancer, etc., I can try having sex with my husband. We did everything was fine.
482924 tn?1333203671 Please, please, please do not just rush into a hysterectomy! I was forced into one at the age of 27 and my life has never been the same since. For one I almost died from the sugery and for two, there is a very long list of major complications/illness' that come with a hysterectomy. Some doctor's push for a hysterectomy because they make good money from them and will continue making more money off of you, because of the side affects and complications.
Avatar n tn I was just recently diagnosed with several cyst on my left ovary. My GYn wants to remove ovary and fallopian tube only. However, I am 35 years old and had a tubilagation in August of 2003 and I have no desire to have any more children. I have a strong family history of ovairan and cervical cancers.I would rather my Gyno. go ahead and perform the complete hysterectomy so that I can avoid any further complications. He says he don't want to do the full hysterectomy because of my age.
Avatar f tn Good Morning, My mother is 60 years old, diagnosed in April 2002 with stage IIIC Ovarian Cancer - which a complete hysterectomy and 6 months of Taxol/Carboplatin cured. In 2005, she was also diagnosed with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (stage 0 - no treatment was needed apparently). A retroperitoneal mass (originally measuring 8cmx5cm) was discovered in June 2009 - and it was confirmed as a recurrance of her Ovarian Cancer, including lymph node involvement.
Avatar f tn either an hysterectomy/bilateral oopherectomy or hormonal therapy (Lupron for a few months, add-back therapy and then the pill). I'm nearly 47 and fertility is not an issue, but the surgical option still strikes me as a bit drastic for a number of reasons, among them sudden menopause, possible complications from the surgery, and the long recovery time (I also have fibroids and LAVH may not be possible if my uterus is too large).
Avatar n tn Option 2 is something to think about, however as I discussed about scar tissue, you will get it,,,my ovary became wrapped in scar tissue and was attached to my bowels lead to lots of complications,,A hysterectomy has lots of pluses and minuses at your age, Of corse you will be thrown intomenopause. have you tried Leupron its an injection that will put you into a chemically induced menopause, I have heard many negative side effects as far as emotions running high, crying spells etc.

Avatar n tn I have been experiencing severe pain and discomfort from a combination of ovarian cysts and fibroids for 3 years now. I was treated with birth controls pills and then steroids and nothing has worked. I just got back the results of my most recent ultrasound. I have 2 cysts on an ovary and 2 fibroids. The doctor has talked to me about a myomectomy option vs. hysterectomy for the fibroid removal. I don't know which way to go on this.
Avatar f tn ( We are done having children but I'm only 33 and I'm scared about what will happen if I take out my other ovary. I've been doing research but wonder if anyone has Any input?
Avatar f tn Waiting on biopsy results to give him a yay or nay. My mom had a hysterectomy and suffered huge complications. I dont know what to do to be honest and could use some insight..Thank you.
Avatar f tn it was not until that tissue was looked at did they find the cancer. stage 1b1. I am actually scheduled for a radical hysterectomy tomorrow!! The pap is not 100% if its not pappped in the exact spot sometimes the cancer can be missed. Also I bleed and ended up in the hosp after the biopsy cause i had a few bleeders.. I would go see doc and get silver nitrate and that honey paste stuff to stop the bleeding. Good luck.
Avatar f tn Help!!! I have history of many prior abdominal surgeries, and then a hyst, and now I am told I have adhesions due to many pelvic surgeries. History of PCOD BAD! Endometriosis, hysterectomy in 05'. Now my stomach feels like it is on fire, I have to burp and pass gas alot. Could adhesions be causing this? What could this be? I don't know if a surgeon or any dr will treat me, as I dont have any insurance, and dont have SSI or Medicaid yet. Can these adhesions be life threatening?

1087834 tn?1256647396 m worried about all the other side effects and complications of hysterectomy. Is it really necessary? Should I trust this doctor when I feel that she should have been the one to tell me about these fibroids years ago? Please help! Thank you all in advance.
486831 tn?1209148864 Well - I had surgery on Monday. It looks like it was endometriosis. Had to do a full hysterectomy. Oh well - It WASN"T CANCER! Yippie! Of course they will do more in depth biopsy and that will take a few weeks. But doc said he was pretty confident. In a little bit of pain mostly in the shoulders from the laproscopy, but other than that doing well. I want to thank each and everyone on this board for their support, advice and encouragment. It's meant so much.
1282678 tn?1275186261 For the past two years i have been having pain during intercourse and trouble urinating, so after a year of this i had a hysterectomy. I still feel pain on one side of my vagina and still have problems urinating always feel like my abdominal hurts. I have had CT scans and ultrasound during this time....would this have shown cancer?
Avatar n tn Hi, I can understand how frightening this is to you, especially with the history of breast cancer. The doctor said he doesn't think it's cancer and that's his medical opinion, and encouraging. You didn't mention what kind of doctor you're having your surgery with hopefully a GYN/ONC Did you have a CA125 done and what is your level? The good thing is that you've found the problem, and you're getting it attended to, and you'll soon have answers.
Avatar n tn Depends on the reason for a hysterectomy. The ovaries are usually left because it delays menopause but if cancer is involved then ovaries will also be removed.
Avatar f tn I am scheduled for a Total Hysterectomy in mid-April. Initally when I decided to do the procedure I thought it would be a permenant birth control solution and give me seven days of my life back a month. However, I've done some research and have begun to question my decision. There are a lot of horor stories out there. I am also unsure about the research because the sample sizes are often so small in the studies.
Avatar n tn Some of us are so scared by ovarian cancer, we automatically think you should have a hysterectomy. But it does put you into early menopause, which can be a problem. Ask for advice from your doctors, decide what's best for you, and have regular exams if they say to watch and wait. Good luck!
